New Student Registration Fall 2019

PLEASE NOTE: The information below is from Gustie Gear-Up! 2018. It will be updated for 2019 in February.

GETTING STARTED:

You're going to be a Gustie? CONGRATULATIONS! The information on this page will help you prepare to register for classes during our Gustie Gear-Up! event. You will attend Gustie Gear-Up! on June 20, 21, or 22, 2018. Here are your first steps:

Activate your Gustavus User Account:Your first step is to activate your Gustavus User Account. You were sent an email the day after you paid your enrollment deposit that included activation instructions. Please contact the Technology Helpline (507-933-6111 or helpline@gustavus.edu) if you need help or have questions about activating your account.

Enrollment Checklist:After you activate your Gustavus User Account, go to your Gustavus Enrollment Checklist. You will use your Enrollment Checklist to request housing, choose a class registration date, and keep track of other important details prior to arriving at Gustavus.

Gustavus ID#:Did you know that you can find your Gustavus ID# in your Admission offer or on your Financial Aid Award? This is an important number for you to memorize! You will have your photo taken during Gustie Gear-Up! or Fall Orientation and will receive your ID card when you arrive on campus or soon after.

WELCOME PACKET:

Our Admission Office will mail you a Welcome Packet after you pay your enrollment deposit. The packet contains a Gustie Gear-Up! Registration Invitation that asks you to complete the Gustie Gear-Up! RSVP form on your Gustavus Enrollment Checklist. Gustie Gear-Up! is our registration and summer orientation event when you will come to campus for one day (June 20, 21, or 22) to register for your fall classes. If you cannot attend Gustie Gear-Up!, there is a place for you to tell us on your Gustie Gear-Up! RSVP form.

REGISTRATION PACKET:

Starting in mid-May, incoming students will be mailed a Registration Packet to help them prepare to come to campus for Gustie Gear-Up!. The packet will include information on submitting a Curriculum Preference form, searching for classes, taking placement exams, and using the Advising & Registration Manual (ARM).

Still not sure? TAKE THE EXAM. Don't let the lack of a placement exam score keep you from registering for a class you need or want during registration. Taking a placement exam doesn't mean that you have to take that class this semester, but it does give you the option. Remember, placement exams do not impact your GPA. They are simply used for placement. When in doubt, TAKE THE EXAM :-)

GUSTIE GEAR-UP!:

After you activate your account, RSVP, submit your Curriculum Preference form, and take placement exams, you will be ready to attend Gustie Gear-Up! Registration and Summer Orientation on June 20, 21, or 22, 2018. On this fun and informational day you will register for your fall classes, take your ID photo, complete necessary paperwork, and enjoy lunch on us. Be sure to bring your Gustavus ID#, a photo ID (AND a Social Security card, birth certificate, or passport for student employment purposes), the Advising & Registration manual (ARM), and a list of courses you might like to take.

OVERNIGHT ACCOMMODATIONS (optional):

Coming from a distance? On-campus overnight accommodations for Gustie Gear-Up! Registration and Summer Orientation (June 20-22, 2018) are available for a modest fee. For more information and to reserve your on-campus room, please use the Gustie Gear-Up! Overnight Accommodations form. Area lodging options are also available.

ENROLLMENT FORMS:

Do you need an extra copy of any of the mailings or paper forms that you were sent from our Admission Office? You will find a comprehensive list on their 2018 Enrollment Forms page.
